Gaza: A Palestinian 2-month-old female died of hypothermia in a camp sheltering her family in the Shejaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza, amid tough living conditions due to the unabated Israeli offensive.

This comes following the death of six children on Tuesday due to the wave of chilling cold, while others remain in dangerous conditions, according to health sources in Gaza.

The Gazans are suffering from the dearth of shelter and healthcare, coupled with a severe shortage of heating and fuel resources, caused by the Israeli aggression that exacerbated the humanitarian crisis, especially with the region being affected by a polar cold front.
